Loaded with features to make jointing safer and more exciting, the JX|8 Sheartec: II is ideal for hobbyists and professionals alike. An ergonomic machine body and parallelogram table adjustments reduce user fatigue while also saving them time. Complete with an 8" cutterhead, this jointer will leave your boards faces flat and perfectly squared.
The Sheartec: II cutterhead is a 6-row carbide insert cutterhead that produces superior finish on even the most challenging woods. It features 4-sided solid carbide inserts with a T-shoulder rather than a cone-shape design, which helps prevent them from cracking. Deep grooves improve shaving ejection and make the cutterhead very quiet. The 4-sided knives can be rotated for a new cutting edge without need for a knife setting jig.
This jointer features a parallelogram design, meaning table depth adjustments travel along an arc to keep the same distance to the cutterhead through its travel. The machine body has been redesigned with a “toe-kick” to allow the user to position themself closer to the machine tables and to move safer and easier along the length of the machine. The infeed table is now fitted with a pull-out roller to help support longer workpieces.
All Laguna Tools woodworking machinery carry a 2-year warranty. Must register machine within 30 days of purchase.
Features
- Parallelogram Table Adjustments: Table depth adjustments travel along an arc to keep the same distance to the cutterhead through its travel.
- Emergency Knee-Stop: The knee stop uses a body-length bar at knee height to shut off the JX jointer. This important safety feature allows the machine operator to stop the machine quickly at any position along the front of the machine while keeping hands on the workpiece.
- Ergonomic Machine Body: The JX Series machine body has been redesigned with a “toe-kick” to allow the user to position themselves closer to the machine tables and to move safer and easier along the length of the machine.
- In-feed Support Roller: Infeed tables are now fitted with pull-out support roller to help support longer materials.
- Built-In Wheels: No need to purchase a separate mobility kit.
- Cast-Iron Tables and Fence

Inspite of the bad rep their customer service gets, I have only had positive experiences with the machines. Solid packaging, well build, clean machining.
Wire was loose right off the bat, no power upon install. Had to undo all the bolts and get under hood to fix it. Customer service is slow, email based and not the most responsive, I guess somethings never change.
Fix was self diagnosed and done without guidance before CC eventually got in touch.
ONce up and running no adjustments were needed.
Works well on the first few boards that were run through.
Recommended without hesitation.
Works well, gives a much better surface than my old straight blade jointer. No install instructions, not even on line that I could find, but pretty obvious what to do.
OakTree folks worked hard to get me this jointer as quickly as possible and delivered it sooner than I expected. Jointer arrived in pristine condition with only one floor pad slightly damaged, likely from initial Laguna packaging, not shipping itself (Oak is working with Laguna to replace the small foot pad part). I highly recommend using OakTree and will use them myself for future wood working equipment purchases.
